GameNight: Louisville vs Arizona (Matchup Comparison)

Up until this point, March couldn't
have been any less mad. The lone exception is 12th seeded Arizona, who knocked
off a pair of underwhelming opponents in Utah and Cleveland St. Now, they must
face the Tournament's #1 seed, and everyone expects the favored Cardinals to
prevail.
